Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, is a condition that affects many people worldwide. It occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Understanding GERD comprehensively involves exploring its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and potential complications.
